"Drift" is a series of works that focus on solidarity, empathy and immersion. These are material forces that make social life become real. It is through our bodies and on the basis of how we live, that we make sense of these images we constantly immerse ourselves in; images we relate to and images we are alienated by. There may not necessarily be a simple logic to what triggers our responses, they are much rather part of process in which subjectivity is rendered precarious, in political and economic terms.

Paulo Bruscky & Robert Rehfeldt "Home Archives" and Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt "Signs FIction"at Chert, Berlin
January 28~2015
Paulo Bruscky & Robert Rehfeldt "Home Archives"
Throughout the 1970s, mail art connected hundreds of artists around the world, creating a networked community of exchange, and in some cases, political resistance. Chert is delighted to present an exhibition of the correspondence of Paulo Bruscky (BR, 1949) and Robert Rehfeldt (DE, 1931–1993), bringing together their embellished letters and art works sent over a period of around ten years, from 1975 onwards. These works allow an in-depth look at how two artists who felt a strong affinity with one another, but had never met, developed an enduring conversation and friendship.
Kaspar Müller "Schätze der Erinnerung" at Société, Berlin
January 26~2015
Hey, Kaspar.
So, to get started, should we talk about travel or about circulation?
When it comes to these images of Lake Zürich, it's mainly a matter of place. A very specific place. When you see the images, you won't be in the same place, because they were all taken in Zürich, and the exhibition of the photos is in Berlin. So you would have to travel, even just in your imagination, to a specific destination. It's not that much about traveling in general, but about one place, which might include traveling as a way of getting there—but then, that place has in a way traveled to Berlin. The lake is portrayed in a number photographs, unique moments captured over a year, over 4 seasons, in different weather conditions.
Jamie Sneider and Nick Farhi at Neochrome Gallery, Turin
January 24~2015
Jamie Sneider
At the end of the 5 months, her studio was destroyed. It was usable, but the floorboards turned a bluish- green and the walls were stained with dye, coffee, urine, etc. I didn't care. They kept leaving notes, "Whoever is throwing away so much trash in the bathroom! Stop!" It was never my studio, it was her studio, and neither of us were ever coming back.
Phoebe Collings-James "Choke On Your Tongue" at Italian Cultural Institute, London
January 24~2015
During the summer of 2014 English artist Phoebe Collings-James took part in Nuove//Residency, a residency program sited in the Bassano del Grappa region of Italy that teaches young international artists the skills to produce new work in the ceramic medium. On the occasion of "Choke On Your Tongue", the Italian Cultural Institute and ARTUNER are delighted to present this new body of work for the first time in London. The title of the show expands on a series of drawings the artist conceived four years ago, a statement Collings-James has maintained to describe feelings of frustration in both her personal life and work as an artist at that time. "Choke On Your Tongue" exists as a proclamation, a suffocated desire of a kept expression. Through the presented new works the artist seeks to develop this feeling which is centred on her continued investigations into language, communication and sexuality.
Christian Friedrich "On Something New / Dirt in a Hole" at Grazer Kunstverein
January 23~2015
Following the exhibition at Museum de Hallen in Haarlem (NL), the Grazer Kunstverein presents the first solo show in Austria by artist Christian Friedrich. The exhibition entitled "On Something New / Dirt in a Hole" presents an array of works including a newly produced, large-scale sound and light work, an immersive, monumental video installation and a series of earlier sculptures. Friedrich's artistic interest lies in the structure, manipulation and conditions of subject-object relationships. A common theme in the artist's work is the subjugation of the human body, which he regularly presents as an object of desire in which power and submission collapse into the subliminal. His earlier drawings and sculptures are informed by cause-and-effect formulas, mining various Conceptual traditions and their quasi-rational methods, both strict and frivolous.
Rashid Johnson "Three Rooms" at Kunsthalle Winterthur
January 22~2015
The oeuvre by Chicago born artist Rashid Johnson is abundant in references to Afro-American culture: Shea butter, African animal skins, and/or icons of Afro-American literature and music are the subjects that appear in ever changing constellations. Over the years these references have developed into an individual iconography; they have emancipated from their origin, while retaining a strong connection to the place from which they were born.
John Latham "Great Noit. Works 1955-1998" and Gianfranco Baruchello "Cold Cinema. Films, Videos and Works 1960-1999"at La Triennale di Milano

Sturtevant "Double Trouble" and "The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World" at The Museum of Modern Art, New York
January 20~2015
Sturtevant "Double Trouble"
The Museum of Modern Art presents the first comprehensive survey in the U.S. of the 50-year career of Sturtevant (American, 1924–2014), and the only institutional presentation of her work organized in the U.S. since a solo exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in 1973. The exhibition is on view from November 9, 2014, to February 22, 2015. "Sturtevant: Double Trouble" brings together over 50 key artworks from all periods of Sturtevant's career in almost every medium in which she worked—including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, film, and video—identifying her as a pioneering and pivotal figure in the history of modern and postmodern art. The exhibition is organized by Peter Eleey, Curator and Associate Director of Exhibitions and Programs, MoMA PS1, with Ingrid Langston, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Drawings and Prints, MoMA. The exhibition will travel to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles where it will be on view from March 21 to July 27, 2015.

Petra Feriancova "Things That Happen and Things That Are Done. On Beginnings and Matter" at Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples
January 19~2015
In the manifestation of the sacred, an object, such as a stone or tree, turns into something else while remaining itself and continuing to be part of the cosmic order. A hierophany, to use Mircea Eliade's term, determines the saturation of being in its fullness, is fulfilled in every gesture of everyday life, including physiological needs, inscribing humanity within a foundational logic that is capable of giving new meaning to the world in its phenomenological totality. Petra Feriancova is an artist capable of elaborating autobiographical elements in an authentic way, fusing them with other information coming from many different areas, translating them all into catalogues, intimate and universal at the same time, which have the inspiration of epic narratives, although they are fragments, fragile scores or situations that could be termed infra-ordinary. On this occasion she tells of myths and mysteries which, in their unutterability, relate the time of contemporary humanity to archaic humanity. A work that could be called civilizing through its relation with matter, with the natural elements and by means of the creative act, that of manual work as a foundational act.
Peter Doig at Fondation Beyeler, Basel
January 18~2015
Peter Doig is one of the most fascinating artists of today. The Fondation Beyeler presents an exhibition of his most important oil paintings and experimental works on paper, as well as a monumental new mural.
Michael E. Smith at Lulu, Mexico City
January 17~2015
Lulu is proud to present a solo exhibition of the US-born, Hopkinton-based artist Michael E. Smith. Detroit-native Michael E. Smith has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most radical sculptors of his generation for his terse, aesthetic prognostications. An evoker of aftermath, human fragmentation, and urban desolation, he has a strong penchant for unusual materials ranging from everything to plastics, protective gear, automotive components, foams, animal parts, industrially produced comestibles, human bone, and perhaps most importantly, textiles.
Jewish Film Festival at The Lincoln Center, New York
January 16~2015
The Jewish Museum and the Film Society of Lincoln Center will present the 24th annual New York Jewish Film Festival at the Film Society's Walter Reade Theater and Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, January 14-29, 2015. The festival's 47 features and shorts from 11 countries—21 screening in their world, U.S., or New York premieres—provide a diverse global perspective on the Jewish experience.

Eric Baudelaire and Paul Sharits at Fridericianum, Kassel
January 14~2015
Eric Baudelaire "FRMAWREOK FAMREWROK FRMAEOWRK FOMARERWK"
The films, photographs and installations by Eric Baudelaire investigate the very framing conditions of historiographical narration. How do the production processes underlying a film image, a story, a portrait or a document themselves shape the reality they depict? By mobilizing and using the hidden framework of media devices, templates and ideologies with which we construct history, present and future and in staging them within the frame, Baudelaire creates fictitious documentary and documentary fiction. Here, a document turns into a framed picture, a film improvisation collides with the exhibited film script, a documentary film portrayal does not show portrait images of those portrayed, an analytical diagram becomes an ornament on a wallpaper.
Vikky Alexander and Rochelle Goldberg at The Apartment, Vancouver
January 13~2015
Vikky Alexander, "The Temptation of St Anthony"
The Apartment is thrilled to present an exhibition of pivotal historic work by Vancouver photographer Vikky Alexander, all made in the 1980s. Appropriated from fashion photography, reshot and arranged as near religious diptychs and triptychs, the works in "The Temptation of St Anthony" are classic postmodern takes on objectification and temptation.
Markus Schinwald at Museum Leuven
January 12~2015
Markus Schinwald is a versatile artist. In each of the consecutive rooms at M, he reveals a different facet of his recent oeuvre. The artist selects his medium based on his ideas or on the intensity he wants the artwork to exude. Sometimes they are paintings or sculptures, but at other times they might be films or performances. This exhibition features several new works that have never been shown before.

ABC News' Alex Pepper reports:
Sarah Palin's much-heralded slate of endorsements suffered a setback yesterday, with the first loss of a Palin-endorsed candidate in a statewide race.
Palin-backed Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., narrowly lost the Republican Senate primary to Rep. Jerry Moran, who had the support of another prominent endorser, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC. In late June, Palin announced support for Tiahrt in a Facebook note, her preferred medium for endorsements, calling him a "Commonsense Conservative." The bitterly contested race represented the first Senate or gubernatorial race in which a candidate with Palin's endorsement has failed to capture the Republican nomination.
It is unlikely to be the last such case, however, with Palin supporting underdog Senate candidates Joe Miller, R-Alaska, and Clint Didier, R-Wash., and her endorsement today of the long shot Republican primary campaign of Brian Murphy for governor of Maryland.
Former Gov. Robert Ehrlich is heavily favored to prevail in the Sept. 14 primary. Ehrlich and incumbent Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley have already begun to trade barbs in anticipation of a rematch of their 2006 matchup.
In a release, Murphy described the endorsement as "an honor and a privilege."
Across the country, Palin's endorsees have seen mixed success. In gubernatorial races, she is 5-0 in races where the Republican nominee has been decided. Mary Fallin's victory in Oklahoma last week was the latest triumph. Georgia gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel trumpeted Palin's endorsement en route to a first place finish in the Republican primary and will receive a visit from Palin next Monday, ahead of Tuesday's runoff contest again Rep. Nathan Deal.
In Senate races, she is now 2-1, having backed the successful candidacies of Carly Fiorina, R-Calif., and Rand Paul, R-Ky.
House races have proved a different story. While Tim Scott, R-SC, won the primary in the South Carolina 1st district after receiving Palin's endorsement, Cecile Bledsoe, R-Ark., and Vaughn Ward, R-Ind., failed in their bids. This record will change significantly though, as the majority of Palin-backed house candidates are involved in still-upcoming primaries.
All that seems sure is that as primary season continues, the unpredictable blessing of Sarah Palin will continue to fascinate candidates and commentators alike.

Lights Out For 49ers, Ravens Are Super Bowl Champs
The Baltimore Ravens are the new Super Bowl champions. They defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34 to 31 Sunday night in New Orleans. The game threatened to be overshadowed by a momentum changing 34 minute power outage.

The Baltimore Ravens are Super Bowl Champions. The Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34 to 31 in a dramatic game that was nearly overshadowed by a partial power outage in the Superdome. San Francisco rallied from behind in the second half, but it was unable to grab the lead in the last moments of the game. NPR's Mike Pesca reports from New Orleans.
MIKE PESCA, BYLINE: Every team claims it has to overcome adversity, from no one believing in us to the entirely-opposite-yet-somehow-equally-daunting the expectations were so high. But these Baltimore Ravens really did have to overcome a lot. At different times, their best cornerback, best pass-rusher, and their unquestioned leader were all said to be out for the season.
Lardarius Webb was indeed lost, but Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs came back. So here, in New Orleans, even though the Ravens were confident they could rebound, they didn't want to be in a position to have to. Less than five minutes into the game, they struck first, added another TD in the second quarter, and with less than two minutes left in the half, scored their third touchdown.
Kevin Harlan with the call in Dial Global Radio.
KEVIN HARLAN: He looks into the San Francisco nickel. He gets the shotgun snap. He gets a block with his left tackle. He gets a block with the center. He throws a long, arching, spiral catch. (unintelligible) falling-down catch in the San Francisco lane. He gets up. He breaks the tackle. He runs to the five. He dives in. It's a touchdown. It's a Baltimore touchdown.
PESCA: All first half, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had avoided pass rushers, worming and bullying his way out of trouble, lofting ball after ball for Ravens receivers who beat their 49er counterparts. After the game, 9ers coach Jim Harbaugh complimented Flacco's elusiveness.
JIM HARBAUGH: Joe got out of some sack situations. I thought we had, you know, a chance to get him wrapped up. He was pretty slippery in those situations.
PESCA: Those qualities are the quidness of Flacco, according to Ravens running back Ray Rice.
RAY RICE: Joe Flacco's the best quarterback in football right now.
PESCA: The game threatened to become a laugher when Ravens return man Jacoby Jones busted 108-yard touchdown to begin the second half. Ray Lewis actually mentioned that he laid hands on Jones before that return. Ever the religious man, Lewis surely knows that the book Matthew speaks of the outer darkness as that place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, appropriate because not soon after Jones' return gave the Ravens a 22-point lead, the Superdome lost power.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Please remain in your seats. Service will be restored momentarily. Thank you.
PESCA: The cause of the over 30-minute blackout was said to be a tripped circuit breaker after a, quote, "abnormality" was sensed. In any case, when play resumed, the 9ers found a spark. Their second year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, began to create, with his arm and legs, eventually leading his team to the Ravens five-yard line, down five points with two minutes left.
Two incompletions later, it was fourth down. Would Kaepernick run it in himself? Would he hand off to Frank Gore? No, he would throw a spiral, lofted over the head of receiver Michael Crabtree who was clearly impeded by the Ravens defender - at least 9ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks thought so.
AHMAD BROOKS: It was a pass interference. I've got eyes. I've got two eyes, just like our referee got two eyes, and he was right there and he saw everything that happened, man. He should have called - they should have threw the play.
PESCA: But Crabtree himself wondered if the ball was so far out of reach that the referee had considered it uncatchable, thereby making the play not subject to an interference call. Either way, it spelled doom for the 9ers and celebration for the Ravens, like safety Ed Reed.
ED REED: It couldn't end in a better way, man. I mean, the game was a display of the whole year. It started good, got ugly, ended great.
PESCA: Ray Lewis will retire as a two-time champion. Joe Flacco's name will be etched on the MVP trophy, and the Ravens will know they fought through tough circumstance, never despaired and always found a way to light a candle rather than curse the darkness. Mike Pesca, NPR News, New Orleans.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When you have something against another Christian, why do you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter, instead of taking it to other Christians to decide who is right? | 1 If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? |
2 Don't you know that someday we Christians are going to judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide these little things among yourselves? | 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? |
3 Don't you realize that we Christians will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disagreements here on earth. | 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! |
4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why do you go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? | 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church! |
5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these arguments? | 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? |
6 But instead, one Christian sues another -- right in front of unbelievers! | 6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another--and this in front of unbelievers! |
7 To have such lawsuits at all is a real defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? | 7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? |
8 But instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your own Christian brothers and sisters. | 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers. |
9 Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, | 9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders |
10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers -- none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. | 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. |
11 There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you. | 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. |
12 You may say, "I am allowed to do anything." But I reply, "Not everything is good for you." And even though "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a slave to anything. | 12 "Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything. |
13 You say, "Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food." This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them. But our bodies were not made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. | 13 "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. |
14 And God will raise our bodies from the dead by his marvelous power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead. | 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. |
15 Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which belongs to Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! | 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! |
16 And don't you know that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one." | 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." |
17 But the person who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. | 17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. |
18 Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. | 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. |
19 Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, | 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; |
20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. | 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. |

text:
I recently saw an information segment on a cable news channel about preparing to survive a disaster, man-made or natural. The expert assembled a backpack with such things as preserved food, drinking water, first aid items, signaling devices, etc. He specifically addressed people who live in urban areas and might be affected by an event like the 9/11 attacks. That got me to thinking back to my Air Force flying days where we packed survival gear and practiced emergency procedures.
Military aviators always have to prepare for leaving their jet under emergency conditions and surviving, on land or water, in jungles, desert or arctic conditions. In small aircraft like fighters, the equipment must be small and survivable under ejection conditions.
An ejection seat is also the 'working seat' for a fighter pilot. The pilot sits on top of a padded surface and a clam-shell container which contains an emergency kit with a variety of items including a one-man life raft. After ejection and separation from the seat, the pilot will be swinging underneath a parachute and is expected to reach down with his right hand and deploy the seat kit. That action opens the clamshell and deploys the life raft on a 25 foot lanyard. In training, we were always advised to deploy the seat kit regardless of conditions to minimize the potential for injury upon landing.
Under combat conditions, we also wore a vest underneath our parachute harness. In that vest were many pockets containing a variety of survival items. My flight commander Charlie Cox who had previous war experience had a personal survival kit which he assembled and carried in his G-suit pocket. We also carried a personal firearm (in my day, it was a .38 police special) as well as a hunting knife.
The most important survival item is a radio so a downed pilot can call for rescue. Forty years ago, we used ARC-64 personal survival radios. We carried two of these 'bricks' in our vest. There was also an emergency locator beacon in the seat kit which would activate a homing signal upon ejection. On more than one occasion, we actually spoke with pilots using their ARC-64 who had ejected over enemy territory while they were coming down under their parachute. Those conversations were generally terse because, in all likelihood, they would soon be captured.
Every six months, we would go through life support training and practice our ejection procedures as well as an inventory of our survival gear. This training served to keep the subject fresh and current because under emergency conditions, there isn't time to think and recall. Mere tenths of a second can mean the difference between life and death when your sick jet is plummeting toward the ground at high speed.
Additionally, we would go through survival training periodically. I went through courses for SERE (survival, escape, resistance and evasion); water survival; jungle survival; and the altitude chamber. Generally, we had to update this training with a refresher course every three years while we remained on active flight status. I also did something a little unusual by attending the Army's Basic Paratrooper Course at Fort Benning in the summer of 1968. With that training, I completed five parachute jumps.
Every June, our weather forecasters and emergency management professionals talk to us about the
beginning of the six-month Atlantic hurricane season and the importance of being prepared. One of their topics is the ability for each of us to operate without any basic services like electricity. In their own way, they're talking about a survival inventory just like we had in the Air Force. We haven't had a significant hurricane season since 2005, so it is easy to become complacent. Additionally, the population of Florida increases every year faster than the national average; millions of Floridians have never experienced a hurricane and are generally clueless about how to prepare and react.
Two decades ago, I was in a situation where I had a weekly commute of a hundred miles across California's rugged Mojave Desert. I packed survival equipment in my trunk in the case I was ever stuck along those remote roads by an accident or breakdown. I never had to use it in two years of commuting, but I was ready if need be, or as learned in Boy Scouts, "be prepared." We didn't have cellular phones back then which is everyone's first line of defense in an emergency, but don't forget, many remote places are not covered with cell phone towers and service will likely be disrupted in an emergency. That's what the people in New York and Washington found out in the aftermath of 9/11. What's your backup?

We raise Navajo-Churro sheep and their crosses for fiber and meat. Navajo Churro are a narrow body, lean sheep with lower grease content than other breeds. Our sheep are raised on pasture, hay and alfalfa pellets, with grain for moms with lambs. Our primary market is wool for weaving yarns or handspinning fleeces and meat is our secondary product. Our main breeding flock is registered or registerable and we strive to increase our quality of fiber within the breed standards.
We have approximately 15 acres of lush grass surrounded by a creek and further acreage of growing timber. Our farm is a peaceful environment for sheep to grow! Farm visits are welcome by appointment.
We also offer a small number of animals for sale for breeding stock each year. Also fiber pets of the Blue-Faced Leicester X Gotland persuasion produce silky, shiny fleece that dyes with shimmer.
We also create knitting yarns with our wool and the wool of another local farm. The yarns are hand dyed using fiber reactive acid dyes for wool. I am also exploring the use of more environmentally friendly acid dyes. The knitting yarns are either Shetland/alpaca blend, Romney or Navajo-Churro in several weights. Call or email for the current availability. We also show the yarns at the Olympia Weaver's Guild Sale.
Other wool products include raw fleeces, processed roving ready to spin or felt, denser yarns for weaving and pelts. Churro wool makes a lovely structural felt and comes in many colors.
This year, 2012, we will offer pastured poultry fed organic grains soy and corn free. If you are interested, a limited number of discounts will be offered for those helping on harvest day. Please contact us to reserve your soy free, corn free, organic fed chickens. Permit requires farm pickup within 48 hours of harvest.
Navajo-Churro breeding stock also available and we are Certified Scrapie Free June 2011

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Excerpt from report in English by privately-owned Israeli daily The
Jerusalem Post website on 6 July
[Report by Dan Izenberg and Gil Hoffman: "Betzelem Accused of Trying To
Mar PM's DC Visit"]
Human rights group Betzelem purposely released a report accusing Israel
of stealing Arab land in the West Bank on the day of Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington in order to ruin his meeting
with US President Barack Obama, critics of the organization charged
Monday [5 July]. The report on government settlement policy and
settlement growth was sent to news organizations with a request to
embargo its publication until Tuesday.
Betzelem's critics compared the move to Peace Now leaking the approval
of Jewish construction in Jerusalem's Shaykh Jarrah neighbourhood an
hour ahead of Netanyahu's last meeting with Obama in March. "The fact
that Betzelem decided to publish it on the day of Netanyahu's meeting
with Obama to try to make it go badly reveals the organization's face as
a systemic harmer of Israeli interests," said Dani Dayan, chairman of
the Yesha Settlement Council. NGO Monitor president Gerald Steinberg
added that "Betzelem claims to be a human rights organization, but they
write blatantly political reports that are timed to have the most
negative impact, such as when Netanyahu is visiting Washington."
Betzelem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli responded that the release date for
the report had been set about a month and a half ago, long before the
date of the Netanyahu-Obama meeting in Washington was known. "We decided
not to change the release date, because we have an obligation to inform
the people about Israel's obligations," Michaeli said. "We hope that
human rights issues, including the implications of the settlements, will
be on the table at the meeting." [passage omitted]
Dayan, however, responded that many of the numbers in the report were
incorrect and many of its claims were distortions. For instance, he
said, the percentage of land in Judea and Samaria controlled by Jewish
councils was 9 per cent, not 42 per cent. "The organization has been
taken over by a group of anti-Israel supporters of the most extreme
Palestinian groups and the Palestinian right of return," Dayan said.
Steinberg said that a lot of the report was based on legal
interpretations without regard for historical realities. "It claims the
government manipulated the law, but land ownership is so complicated
that any decision is interpreted," Steinberg said. "It can just as
easily be said that Betzelem manipulated the law to score political
points. In this report, there is no historical context of decades of
Arab hostility, the 1967 war and unreciprocated Israeli peace efforts.
Instead it artificially blames everything on Israel."

Neil McCandless: Why I'm a Democrat
Thursday, February 19, 2009
To the editor:
In answer to Mr. Ponikvar, I want to tell why I'm a Democrat.
We believe that prisoners of war should not be tortured. Our soldiers might become prisoners in another country, and we don't want them tortured. Besides that, it's immoral.
We believe the poor and middle class should get tax breaks, too - not just the rich.
We believe our government should abide by the laws that protect us - not conduct illegal wiretaps on its citizens or suspend the rights of habeas corpus and speedy trial.
We believe that everyone deserves access to good and affordable health care.
We also believe in all the good things John puts in his ad that are not exclusive to any one party.
Neil McCandless

Thanks for the letter. While I don't tend to affiliate with either party, I believe both have positive and negative aspects to the ideologies they hold most dear. What I don't think many in either party posses though is an adequate supply of common sense. For example, while I myself don't believe in torture either, sadly all of our enemies do and use it far more extensively than we do. Rather than water boarding or depriving a person of sleep they cut off body parts, mutilate sexual organs, and then kill you. We seldom "get any body back." I am also a firm believer that taxes should be fair and equitable. I would challenge you to see how many middle class and poor actually end up paying any tax at all. I am middle class and pay a very small amount of taxes, maybe 10% and I am in the upper middle income bracket. Most people who make less than I do pay almost no taxes and I have seen many get double back what they pay in (this is called welfare and it's written into our tax code for middle and low income Americans). You have given reference to the fact that you don't believe many in government abide by the laws and that they should when dealing with criminals. Everyday people guilty of murder, rape, incest, robbery, drug dealing, etc etc. go free because some pencil pusher in government forgot to dot an I on the search warrant so the search was "illegal". It's blind faith in this type of constitutionalism that is going to be our downfall. Our own constitution will be our undoing as we give more rights to the criminal than we do to the innocent people in this country. The question that should be asked is "does the illegal wire tap of people known to associate with criminals serve the greater good?" if it does, then they should be allowed. Healthcare is a real tricky issue in this country. Tort reform (something many in politics do not agree with) is at the heart of sky rocketing healthcare costs. Those organizations who are freed from unlimited liability can provide health services at a fraction of the cost of those who aren't. We also spend twice as much on healthcare in this country as does any other country in the world. All kinds of political mish mash is at the core of this problem. We can't have universal healthcare in this country, not because we can't afford it, but because of how it's structured and delivered, and no one wants to address that issue. Again, It boils down to common sense and that is what is in short supply in Washington
While I don't necessarily agree with all of your party's ideas, I appreciate the fact that you have the courage to provide your opinion in an area where many believe the democratic party is a group who can't understand normal thinking.
oldsage 5 years, 11 months ago
Gee willikers Neil, I am not a registered Republican because I want to have people tortured or have illegal wire taps, I am registered republican because in this county the Republican primary winners are elected at the general election 95% of the time so the choice is at the primary level. Democrats don't get to vote in the Republican primary, otherwise we would have Sheriff Hoeberg instead of what's his face. Of course I have voted for more Democrats and Independents in the last few years because they were better people (You know honest) and were not involved in the election fraud which took place at the precinct level in........ oops, I can't say where it was or my post will be deleted but it did happen and was so...................tape recorder and............got the whole thing on tape ..........and it was during the next............ election cycle........... and then.............. and it........involved the candidate that...........and then ...........deleted this forum......for two weeks before the 2006 election! I just love the news coverage in this county. Forth estate my......ear And P. S. The police use PCs now and the i is dotted automatically every time and the same with the t's being crossed so you will have to come up with a better excuse for poor police work or the fact there was never a case to be brought against those accused.
craiggirl 5 years, 11 months ago
Oldsage - you must have missed the fact that Hoberg and Jantz BOTH ran on the Republican ticket in the Republican Primary.
oldsage 5 years, 11 months ago
Yea, that's right, against each other, and if the Democrats could have voted in the Republican primary they would have voted for Hoeberg. That was the point. Assuming that the newspaper was really reporting the news instead of fluff and if they (Democrats) knew who was running the Republican precinct caucus in ........ and how the fraud was committed in 2004 by ............for.............who was Republican candidate for the........county........... race and.......if......knew .............. did that and they voted in the ........ primary they sure would not have voted for the Perpetrator to be their sheriff unless they were close friends of the guy like this.........and ....... paper. Therefore, we would have Sheriff Hoeberg! There are lots of good Democrats out there just as there are good Republicans who don't torture people or use illegal wiretaps and would only vote for honest candidates if the news media would only report the truth. Who knows maybe we would have Sheriff Alton. Something tells me though that Neil was a Democrat when Bill Clinton's CIA was using water-boarding on suspects during some of their "interviews" and when all the FBI files on private citizens were in the white house for Hillary's review!
AltitudeAdjustment 5 years, 11 months ago
Sounds like you have corned the market on information and know all the facts. For a guy who knows so much how come you didn't run for Sherrif or atleast get out and try to pursuad the ignorant masses how they should vote? But I guess when you live in a town where the tail wags the dog, you probably don't see the point. So based on your knowledge and information who is "the Man" in this county? Who is the one person who is pulling all the pupet strings to make us all dance? Is it the three people at the head of the republican party? Is there a conspiracy we should all know about? Will you have to go into hiding for fear of your life if you tell us? Please, enlighten us some more!
cantstandtexans 5 years, 11 months ago
Interesting. I had a situation involving corrupt Republican Party members working in a certain federal government agency. If it hadn't been for a particular U.S. senator, I might have been set to PRISON on bogus charges just to get my brother to hush up about the criminal activities being committed by members of the GOP. I'll not elaborate. They were sunk thanks again to this certain U.S. senator. That is one major reason that I'm a Progressive. I do not claim a particular political party. So, I'll just say that we need have a progressive style of government.
What occurred these past eight years is staggering to comprehend the magitude of corruption committed by the Bush Administation. It's not difficult to understand who really was in charge of that administration. And it wasn't Bush. Unilateral Action is nothing more than a tactic out of the pages of the Third Reich! There were no WMD's that Hussien secretly kept under wraps. There were no mobile chemical labs. No yellow cake...NOTHING! Fabrication of facts just to wage a war for profit, deguised as a patriotic war to kill them terrorists! False! And remember, if you stood against this doctrine, then you were un-patriotic and were branded as a greater threat to the state! The corruption of our political system is spread from coast to coast. But this countries respect and image has been so seriously deminished by the Scum Buckets that just left the Oval Office, and the financial raping of our economy has placed our very standard of living in grave jeopardy.
I'm a Progressive because I think. I do not watch Fake News Fools nor do I listen to Drug Addict Rush Limbaugh. I think!! Skinny Ann Colter makes her fortune from pandering to the those that honestly believe the garbage thrown out by the three elements I have just listed.
I too, do not believe in torture. I know that honor is not present by all countries or parties tht wage war. You bet some if not most factions will torture. But uh, There more torture out in the battle fields committed by U.S. soldiers than what is ever revealed. Whose to say I wouldn't rid the battlefield of opposition if I was a soldier. But what does torture accomplish? Not desent and hatred towards what we call..."The Good Guys"!!
No matter things in the past should be left in the past. Unless what occurred in the past still haunts us...such as this economic cesspool!!! Thanks Republican Party!! And you can thank Reagan's Trickle Down Economics as well!!
Thanks for standing up Neil. I do. Trust me...many do not like me because of my stand against favortism to the "Haves and the Have Mores"!!! Or my belief that the poltical system of the right "MUST" be free of the Evangelical train of thought that this country must be a country nothing but so-called Christians!! I'm not putting down religion, but there absolutly must be a seapration of church and state! And alas!! The local Mafia!! Extraordinary!

Attend a CPD Teacher Briefing on the BUSS4 Theme | Order the BUSS4 Research Theme Toolkit | Book places on the BUSS4 Revision Workshops
CPD courses for AQA AS & A2 Business Studies in 2012/13
Our programme of Teacher CPD for AQA AS & A2 Business Studies in 2012/13 is described below. Please use the online booking form provided or contact us in the office (email firstname.lastname@example.com) to arrange places.
AQA AS / A2 Business Studies CPD Programme 2012/13
New to AQA AS Business Studies
Venue: London (Guoman Charing Cross); Date: 20 September 2012
This course provides delegates with a comprehensive resource pack of resources and approaches for the two AS units (BUSS1 & BUSS2). A fantastic course for colleagues who are new to teaching the AQA spec in 2012/13 and also for departments who have recently switched from another exam board.
Step up to A2 Business
Step up to A2 is a resource-packed CPD course aimed specifically at providing a huge boost for colleagues and departments delivering BUSS3 and BUSS4 from the UK's most popular A level specification.
This brand new CPD focuses exclusively on BUSS3 and BUSS4 and brings together a whole host of resources, techniques and teaching and learning strategies to enable you to deliver A2 with renewed confidence and vigour whether you are new to delivering BUSS3 and BUSS4 or an experienced practitioner.
During the day, we will be looking at some of the following key areas:
• Strategies for improving student's exam technique, a major challenge for many students when they move from AS to A2
• Teaching tough topics. We will be looking at teaching and learning strategies which focus on some of the more challenging areas of A2 such as Critical Path Analysis, Balance Sheets, Investment Appraisal and the Economic Environment amongst others
• Managing the research theme
As with all of our CPD events, you will be provided with a range of teaching and learning resources which can be taken back to the classroom and used immediately with your students as well as detailed schemes of work for both A2 units AND a free copy of the soon to be released BUSS3 Beat the Teacher, a fantastic thinking skills starter activity covering the entire BUSS3 specification.
AQA Section B Briefing 2012/13
The BUSS4 Section B Briefing has been developed in response to many requests from colleagues for more structured and detailed support on topics which are core to Section B of BUSS4.
The course will provide:
- Detailed briefings on core topics such as: technological change; ethics & culture; change management; leadership; strategic decision-making; business & the economic environment; globalisation and emerging markets
- Advice on relevant and suitable case studies for research
- Suggestions for leading and monitoring student research for Section B
- Guidance on how students can practice their approach to "hybrid" questions - increasingly popular in Section B
This course really is an opportunity to boost and deepen your understanding of quite complex topics which feature in Section B and will undoubtedly save you time once the students begin their BUSS4 studies. So much of the content of BUSS4 can be best delivered through the use of integrated case studies and this course will provide many suitable examples for you to consider.
The first two BUSS4 Section B Briefing Days are being held in London on 12 November and Manchester on 16 November. Places are strictly limited and will be allocated to colleagues who confirm places first. The delegate rate for this course is £190 (+VAT) to include full event refreshments and a comprehensive resource pack which will be of immediate and valuable use in the classroom.
Provisional bookings for this course can now be made here:

This future predictions keynote by Bill Nye makes some pretty reasonable predictions for upcoming city life.
Most of his predictions circle around innovation in bicycling. For instance, he believes that efficient bike roadways will be built in order to offer an alternative to automobiles. He believes these bike arteries will be air tight as to defend against headwinds and will propel tailwinds in either direction. As he explains, it would be much cheaper and better on the environment to travel by this method. These roadways would also be a better long term investment.
Bill Nye's future predictions keynote also makes interesting predictions of convenient showers to account for heat, laundry services that clean your clothing when you get to work, and less commuting due to better mobile communication devices.

Characteristic polynomial of a matrix
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
linalg::charpoly(A, x)
linalg::charpoly(A, x) computes the characteristic polynomial of the matrix A. The characteristic polynomial of a n×n matrix is defined by , where In denotes the n×n identity matrix.
The component ring of A must be a commutative ring, i.e., a domain of category Cat::CommutativeRing.
We define a matrix over the rational numbers:
A := Dom::Matrix(Dom::Rational)([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
Then the characteristic polynomial pA(x) is given by:
linalg::charpoly(A, x)
It is of the domain type:
We define a matrix over ℤ7:
B := Dom::Matrix(Dom::IntegerMod(7))([[1, 2], [3, 0]])
The characteristic polynomial pB(x) of B is given by:
p := linalg::charpoly(B, x)
We compute the zeros of pB(x), i.e., the eigenvalues of the matrix B:
Polynomial of the domain Dom::DistributedPolynomial([x],R), where R is the component ring of A.
linalg::charpoly implements Hessenberg's algorithm to compute the characteristic polynomial of a square matrix A. See: Henri Cohen: A Course in Computational Algebraic Number Theory, GTM 138, Springer Verlag.
This algorithm works for any field and requires only O(n3) field operations, in contrast to O(n4) when computing the determinant of the characteristic matrix of A.
Since the size of the components of A in intermediate computations of Hessenberg's algorithm can swell extremely, it is only applied for matrices over Dom::Float and Dom::IntegerMod.
For any other component ring, the characteristic polynomial is computed using the Berkowitz algorithm.

Windows keeps asking for Network Password to access computer
I have a small home network set up with 4 PCs (1 laptop & 3 desktop). I can see all my computers in my networks but I cannot connect to one of my desktops using my laptop. All the other computers/laptops can read and transfer files without a problem except for the laptop connecting to one of the PCs.
Both the laptop and the PC that is asking for a network password are on the same version of Windows 7 Home. I have file and printer sharing enabled. All are on the same workgroup. I have firewall off and I have turned off password protected sharing yet when I try to connect or print from my laptop to the one PC it asks for a password and I can't figure out why. This only started recently a week ago. Prior to that never had this problem and shared files/printer without a problem |

Do you have a restore point older than the problem on the PC that has the problem? Most likely some registry setting changed. Unless you had a power glitch. Restore point is the easiest fix to try.
Other thing is did you install any OS updates when the problem started? If so I'd try to back them off. |

Ya, I tried system restore but it was a newer PC and the setting was disabled

24 Oct 2011 | #5 |
Have you checked all the settings? I noticed some software will do stuff like turn firewall on or make other changes without asking. Nothing else is coming to mind. Hopefully someone more network savvy will chime in.
Don't ask me why but one thing I found useful when trying to get XP and Vista/W7 to network with no passwords was to not share any folders at first. Just use the default shared folders, All Users and Public. For some bizarre reason it seemed like once I got those going, then I could enable sharing on a regular folder. Go figure! I'm just grasping at straws at this point. |

In the Great War, new technologies in small arms was brought to the field: The American Springfield, the British Enfield, the French Lebel, and the German Mauser. Many of these arms, and the internal technologies and engineering used, were seminal. One can find arms made today with designs that are rooted directly in features from some of these weapons.
Among collectors of WWI memorabilia, it is generally considered that the Springfield is the superior target rifle, the Mauser the superior hunting rifle, the Enfield the superior battle rifle, and the Lebel the superior lamp stand.

Do not confuse a userland application requesting kernel services (such as DirectX) which then cause a crash, rather than the userland program itself scribbling in RAM where it should not.
Tthis is academic. The problem is likely not a crash, rather a failure to deliver video to your monitor in viewable form.

Please explain how the gag order is unconstitutional, including the relevant sections of the Constitution and other law.
According to Kevin Bankston, Sr. Staff Atty, EFF, in his first of two letters to the US Attty's office, wrote "...the secrecy requirements applying to grand jury proceedings do not reach grand jury witnesses (or prospective witnesses)." He cites F.R.Crim.P.6(e)(2), and United States v. Sells Engineering, Inc., 463 US 418,425(1983). He then goes on to cite 18 USC 2705(b) and the requirements for an accompanying court order.
He reiterated and enhanced this in his second letter. I won't bother to cite it, I recommend instead that you follow the link in TFA, as TFA was entirely and spectacularly unhelpful as to the history of the proceedings and their current state.

Once you get into a franchise system, the power of the Internet seems much more focused and advantageous to both franchisors and franchisees. The Internet is unrivaled when it comes to facilitating communications, a benefit that's already infiltrated the world of franchising.
Indeed, some of the larger franchise systems are taking full advantage of the extranet capabilities of the Internet. An extranet can be loosely described as protected information that can be accessed through the Internet by those who hold the proper password. For example, the franchisor Mail Boxes Etc. regularly communicates with its franchisees via the Internet, and franchisees can even access operations manuals by using their password. In the future, when the necessary bandwidth is available, it's certainly possible that franchisees will watch training videos and franchisor presentations on the Internet. I've worked with a budding franchisor who intends to place digital cameras in stores to assist franchisees in making crucial decisions when bidding on used merchandise. Big Brother paranoia aside, these types of applications may turn out to be the best utilization of the Internet for franchising.
Speaking of Big Brother, one piece of information that a franchisor must now disclose in its UFOC is whether it has the unfettered right to access a franchisee's computer system. The idea of permitting the franchisor free rein over your hard drive could be a little disconcerting; however, the benefits are tangible. Now, by using Internet or modem access, franchisors can automatically download point-of-sale information, customer databases and completed financial reports. This not only permits the franchisor to perform its job of supporting the franchised business, but it also means less work for the franchisee. According to Lee J. Plave, a franchise specialist and partner with Rudnick, Wolfe, Epstien & Zeidman in Washington, DC, "Franchisor field reps can use data instead of wasting time deriving it, which permits human interaction at a higher level." On the other hand, some franchisors keep a digital key to the operation of your software and can remotely lock you out of proprietary software. So now the digital hammer can be flung from afar.
But the Internet doesn't just give strength to the franchisors. Not surprisingly, the Internet has greatly improved communications between franchisees, providing them with a low-cost way to coalesce and the unprecedented power to help each other.
One of the best features of a franchise system is the ability to rely on your fellow franchisees to provide insight into your daily dilemmas. E-mail within an extranet provides a low-cost way to transmit ideas and discussions. In one situation I know of, the franchisees in a system began a grassroots effort to force systemwide changes upon a franchisor. As the e-mail messages began to flow, franchisees reiterated their concerns for the others to see. Eventually, the franchisees began to learn that most of them agreed something had to be done, and the group of comments was eventually forwarded to the franchisor.

Horror Movie
A man gets into a stranger's electric car and goes to his house which if full of terrifying and dangerous electrical devices. What could possibly go wrong? Just don't go down in the basement.

Richy Dude in the mid 1910's
A well preserved film from 1915 shows a dizzying array of electrical appliances that were invented by that time. I'd like to know how many people actually used em then...probably not many, but the film is made by GE and obviously was designed to get people's salivary glands working...at least for the smaller things.
I love the central vacuum cleaner which was reintroduced in new homes in the late 50's; and that washing machine with all those wheels and belts that I'm mighty sure more than a few women got their hair pulled out while using em.
That was a huge house and lots of servants; equivalent to someone like Nancy Pelosi these days.

Fantastic window into the 'modern' (and affluent) household of 1915. What an absolute treat!
Gr8fulFox -
But it makes me cringe like hell. First off, they turn on their mechanical machines, then point out the workings of them with THEIR FINGERS! Then, they demonstrate how the toaster works, and flip the toast with their bare hands! Jesus, spent all yer money on the electric appliances, couldn't afford a pair of wooden tongs to flip the toast? I can only imagine how many people got bad burns from the appliances that boiled water (the coffee maker, for example), but that's just a comment on the devices themselves, not towards the film. And "Mr. Wise" certainly placed his soldering iron in a great place; watch yer head! I give it four stars because it's interesting; I would give it 5 if they had just been a bit safer.

Why is there a steam radiator?
Good question! Let's remember that electrical power was much more costly per Kilowatt-hour in 1915.
An entrance foyer is a drafty place.
An electric heater is radiant.
A hot water or steam heater heats by conduction;
it moves chilly air up, and sets up a natural circulation by passive convection currents.
The electrical heaters seen in this film are both used in close proximity to the subjects: cozy parlor, sitting room.
At any rate, the electrical heater was for spot heating. They worked well--premium service for a premium cost per BTU.
I first saw this film about 1980. It was in the form of a crystaline, perfect-quality 16mm print, presented by a buddy of mine who was an executive with Florida Power and Light. The print that Bob showed our collectors' group meeting that morning at our monthly meeting, was as clear as if it had been made the day before. I wish that print had been available for this transfer. It was the nearest thing to "like new" I had ever seen in in silent film (that's my recollection).
BTW, an infrared heater, of the type seen in the wife's sitting room, just sold (today that I write) on ebay--for $75. Not as ornate as the ones you see in the film (in the display window, see the other example), the ebay heater still works. No surprise in that.
BTW, "Come along in my electric" would be the standard expression. "Mrs. Jones got herself an electric to-day." Your hearer knew exactly what was meant.
I knew people who lived in that era. Natalie Allemang was married to a man who opened an electrical appliance store in St. Louis in that year of 1915. "My husband sold the first electric washing machine in St. Louis." (If I recall correctly today, Alle told me it was The Eden).

It isn't just for executions anymore!!
I really enjoy these early looks into "modern" technology, but one does have to wonder...If electricity is so great, why is the a big steam radiator next to the front door?

It's hard to be impartial to this,
Some people think I'm being totally unfair in my movie reviews. "You have to think what they were thinking at the time!" they say. I try to be fair fellow reader, but watching movies such as "The Home Electrical" just makes me scream out laughing and make me rush to the keyboard and comment on what I see. We start out when Mr Newhouse meets Mr Wise (Get it??? Get It??) Mr Newhouse wonders all about these newfangled electric devices. Mr. Wise asks Mr Newhouse to come to his house to view all his electrical appliances by taking a ride in his electric. Excuse me? HIS ELECTRIC? Do we take a trip on our gas? Is it too hard to say CAR? When they get there, they are welcomed by the wife of the household, and the tour begins. They see the Vacuum Cleaner (which operates from a hole in the wall, fair enough) and the sewing machine. But as you're watching this, you soon realize that as the wife shows us all her devices, it's apparent she doesn't DO any actual work on these machines, rather her SERVANTS do it. They go into the bathroom, where Mr Wise shows what appears to be a electric cup. Um ok. Anyways, the tour continues into the kitchen, to the oven and the laundry. Then you realize the CRAZY idea they had to put the electrical sockets AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. Nothing like dangling cords hanging around for safety! The wife shows us more stuff, which purpose is never REALLY explained. They have lunch, then the men retire into the study to smoke a cigar using this huge looking electric lighter which looks like this stereo hooked up to a telephone reciever circa 1940's. Mr Newhouse, satisfied with what he's seen, runs home to tell his wife, leaving the Wise family to get warm, not by the fireplace which stands neglected in the den, but by what appears to be this giant heater, with the GE symbol just glowing just to hammer home who the sponsor of this claptrap is. A MUST SEE on this site!

the Home Electrical
This promo film is of immense historical value!
complete with courtesy and a maid. :)
seriously, it points out the uses that were then available and it brings to mind what we are not using now. the use of the electric car or any alternative to fossil fuels has been continually downplayed or actively opposed and suppressed by oil folks thru the years.
thank you for preserving this film.
